Bell is by far the best opening bat in NZ. His 146 yesterday confirmed it. Highest run scorer in the country last year, a test hundred and a thrashing 69 in his final test against the poms in Napier, smacking Jimmy Anderson for Four 4's (hows that?) in a row.
22 first class centuries.
and we've got Aaron Redmond in Australia who'll average single figures. We put boys in to a mans job and what do we expect to achieve? An opener who puts immediate pressure on the 3 and 4. It means Jesse and Ross will struggle because of him.
Criminal.
